"Reset, I'll shoot it with the heart of the beginning."

Park Jin-ho (47, Gangneung City Hall) is the world's best sniper on the Paralympic shooting stage. He continued to break world records alone, and almost won first place in every international competition he participated in. The driving force behind this overwhelming ability lies in the concentration that comes out of the icy coldness. That concentration is better maintained in an environment where the temperature has gone down cold. Park Jin-ho is a 'Cold Sniper' who shoots better when it's cool.

However, Park Jin-ho, the world's best 'Cold Sniper', has never been associated with the Paralympics. I always missed the gold medal at the Paralympics to the extent that I said "There was a lot of resentment piled up.' In Park Jin-ho's career, which is recognized as the "best in the world", there was always one seat empty. a Paralympic gold medal.

For Park Jin-ho, Paris, France, especially Chatoru, where the Paralympic shooting competition will be held, is a promised land of 'Blocking Blood'. The same applies to the entire shooting of the disabled in Korea. Through the 2024 Paris Paralympics, Korean shooting has been revived as a 'paradise sport for the Paralympics'. We are enjoying the Second Coming of the Shooting Renaissance in Paris. At the center of it is Park Jin-ho, who won the first two gold medals of the Korean team.

'Cold Sniper'Park Jin-ho shot 454.6 points (150 points for Silsa, 154.4 points for copy, and 150.2 points for the company) in the final round of the men's 50m rifle 3 (sports grade SH1) at Chatoru Shooting Center in France on the night of the 3rd (Korea time), beating Dong Qiao (China) with 451.8 points. He even showed great ability to break the Paralympic finals and final records at the same time.

Prior to this, Park Jin-ho won his first Paralympic gold medal in the men's 10-meter air rifle event in shooting R1 on the 31st of last month. Park Jin-ho added two Paralympic gold medals to his career at the Paris Paralympics, evolving to the level of 'GOAT of shooting'.

However, Park Jin-ho's Paralympics is not over yet. While I'm at it, I'm trying to achieve the feat of 'triple crown', which has never appeared in the Korean Paralympic history. The skills are already full. In addition, confidence and coolness have been added.

Park Jin-ho's last appearance is on the 5th. The R6 Mixed 50m Rifle Copy SH1 event remains. Park Jin-ho's pledge is that he cannot miss even this game in order to completely solve the 'Han' that has been concluded at the Paralympics. He added "There is a lot of resentment left in the Paralympics. So I'm going to play again with the mindset of starting the next game." It's like a frightening warning to your rivals.

For Park Jin-ho, the joy of winning two Paralympic medals is 'one-day joy'. "I tried to reset (my mind) even when the first gold medal came out," he said. I only got celebrated that day, and after a day, I thought it was just one game over. I'll prepare for the last game like that again."

If Park Jin-ho maintains his composure with such a frightening level of coolness, there is a high possibility that the first three gold medals of the Korean Paralympic Games will be born. He has already shown his copy skills in three positions of the 50-meter rifle, which gave him his second gold. Park Jin-ho won his second gold medal in the 50m rifle 3 position is a game in which he uses three positions alternately: knee shot (seulsa), prone shot (copy), and standing shot (incident) to hit the target 50m away.

Originally, Park Jin-ho is the strongest at joining the company. Slisa is relatively weak, and radiation is as strong as the incident. It's the highest level in the world. In particular, when Park Jin-ho won five gold medals at the '2024 Changwon Disabled Shooting World Cup', which ended in early May, he won the R6 50m rifle copy event with 252.3 points, breaking the world record (251.9 points). In the first place, the only competitor is himself.

In Paris, the pace of the time is maintained. Maybe the pace has been upgraded further thanks to the 2 gold medals. Chung Jin-wan, a former Paralympic gold medalist in shooting, said, `Seeing the performance at the three-day event and the record in the copy category, I expect that he will do a great job in the final rifle copy event.' Park Jin-ho said, `I won't leave any regrets." It can be seen as a declaration to defeat competitors and climb to the top of the podium.
